Parker Health Group and Visiting Nurse Association Health Group have partnered to launch the Parker Advanced Care Institute at VNAHG Inc., or PACI, according to a Thursday announcement.

Over the last three years, Parker has awarded a series of grants to help fund the growth and expansion of VNAHG’s Advanced Care Institute.

After working closely together and evaluating the positive impact of the ACI’s services, Parker and VNA Health Group have decided to partner together to further expand its programs and serve more seniors in their homes. Under this partnership, both organizations will share equal membership and leadership of the newly formed Parker Advanced Care Institute at VNAHG Inc.

In-home holistic care is a critical service for homebound seniors and can significantly lower overall medical costs by reducing the need for expensive hospitalizations.
